Title
Public Hearing on Housing and Human Services Needs for the Housing and Urban Development (HUD) Consolidated Strategy and Plan - FY 2008/2009 One Year Action Plan
Memorandum
The public hearing scheduled for the April 21, 2008 City Council session is a required element of the Community Development process of identifying housing and human service needs and establishing funding priorities to address these needs for FY 09 (July 1, 2008 through June 30, 2009).
This public hearing provides community feedback on the Office of Community Development Annual Plan recommendations for the upcoming fiscal year’s allocations of Community Development Block Grant, HOME, and City General Funds to nonprofit housing and human services organizations.
HUD requires at least one public hearing during the development of the Consolidated Plan, a 30-day public comment period, and a summary of those comments must be included in the Consolidated Plan. The Office of Community Development held public hearings on December 17, 2007 at City Council and January 8, 2008 at the Housing and Human Services Advisory Board meeting. In addition, the Housing and Human Services Advisory Board holds public comment periods at each meeting.
Attached you will find a draft FY 2008/2009 Action Plan. City Council will be asked to approve the final FY 2008/2009 Action Plan on May 5, 2008, which will incorporate all of the public comments received.
